Make No Little Plans

Turn back the clock and listen "first-hand" as Daniel Burnham (enacted by R. J. Lindsey) narrates a slide show about the 1871 Chicago fire and the resulting opportunities for him and partner John Root, first with the 1893 Columbian Exposition and, later, his Plan of Chicago (1909).  As for relevance to 2009, Burnham's question to his audience of a hundred years ago is as valid as ever:  "How are we living?"  

Reception (Cash bar) at 5:30 pm, followed by one hour presentation beginning at 6 pm.
